I think that GM knows that if the ZL1 is priced much more than ten percent higher than a "similarly equipped" GT500 or in the CTS-V range, most potential ZL1 buyers will choose to purchase other vehicles. The ZL1 needs to be priced in the range where its target demographic can and will purchase it.

Exactly. Everyone just needs to calm down and think logically. While the ZL1 won't start at $48k, it definitely won't start at $60+k. The CTS-V starts at about $63k.
